MIAMI HERALD/
Cuba is counter-attacking cyber-foes with backers labelling them mercenaries and CIA agents. Bloggers like the well-known and much lauded Yoani Sanchez and the 15 other bloggers who regularly criticize Cuba are seen as dangerous subversives. Many counter-attacks are posted on the Cambios en Cuba blog. Others are posted on Blogcip, a Cuban site with 44 blogs. Professor Ted Henken said the attacks seldom focus on the blogs' criticisms and their ``overall intent is to argue that the fatherland is threatened by an ungrateful anti-Cuban, a skinny computer hacker with a poison pen -- ink bought and paid for by Uncle Sam, of course.''
